Henrik, naturally, didn't say no, and soon enough, the two grown-ups found themselves amidst a sea of kids,
clinging to a carousel.
Lately, Flora had all the tin the world. The University of Maple Grove was on a break, and things with Kruiz
were almost wrapped up. Now, she was just hanging around, waiting for the medical training base to kick into
gear. So, there she was, lounging in bed, just counting down to the New Year.
"Hey, tto eat," Connor called out right on the dot at ten in the evening. Flora burrowed even deeper into her
cozy cocoon, not wanting to budge. "I can't get up, it's too chilly." Outside, snow was piling up, but inside, the
heater kept things toasty. Still, Flora was in no rush to leave her warm nest. "How about a kiss to motivate me?"
she suggested with a playful wink. Chuckling, Connor leaned in and nibbled her lip. "Is that enough?" he teased.
"One more," Flora grinned mischievously. Connor obliged with another kiss, nearly sparking his morning fire,

Flora lingered a bit more before finally dragging herself out of bed. She picked up her phone from the nightstand
and powered it on. Half an hour earlier, a message from Mr. Richard had cthrough.
"Flora, have you seen Kruiz? He's gone missing!"
Missing? Flora's brows knitted in concern. She quickly dialed back.
Oooo
"What happened?" she demanded once the line connected. On the other end, Mr. Richard's voice was nearly
drowned out by the noise: "Kruiz might've been kidnapped It's causing a big stir, and we still haven't pinned
down his last whereabouts! Flora, if you're free,
could you swing by?"
Kruiz was part of the medical base, and disappearing in Austenberg was a serious matter. Despite Kruiz being a
bit of a hassle, he'd always been decent to her. Flora got the address, threw on sclothes, and made her way
over. Downstairs, Connor took one look at her worried face and knew something was up. He grabbed the car
keys: "I'll drive you."
The whole situation with Kruiz had to be kept under wraps, so the hotel was on lockdown, barring any
unauthorized access. Mr. Richard met Flora at the entrance. "This morning, the medical base crew went to check
on Kruiz and found he was missing, likely snatched last night."
"Any luck on his location?" Flora asked, following him upstairs with a worried frown.

"Not yet, we're still digging," Mr. Richard replied. He had asked Flora to cbecause of her knack with
computers, the computer science dean had been adamant about having her switch majors, saying she was a
rare genius. In his desperation, Mr. Richard blurted out for her help, though now he wondered if it was a hasty
move. After all, even top-notch national computer experts hadn't tracked down Kruiz yet. But something told him
Flora might just have the edge.
By the tthey reached the top floor, Kruiz's room was bustling. Mercenaries in uniform lined up, their
presence commanding respect. "Flora, you made it!" Mr. Tanner exclaimed, clearly thrilled to see her. He'd been
swamped since his return and hadn't had much chance to catch up with her. But there was no tfor chit-chat;
finding Kruiz was the pressing matter.
The national computer team was hard at work trying to trace Kruiz, and seeing Flora join the scene made them
raise their eyebrows. The place was chaotic enough without adding a young woman to the mix. How could she
possibly help?
